We're thrilled to announce that the first selection for the Black Girl Nerds Book Club is Sistah Samurai: A Champloo Novella by Tatiana Obey!

An action-packed fantasy novella, Sistah Samurai pays homage to the beloved anime Afro Samurai. Set in a feudal Japan-inspired world filled with deliberate anachronisms, the story blends thrilling swordplay, rich world-building, and unforgettable characters into a fast-paced adventure.

Whether you're already a fan of fantasy and anime-inspired storytelling or looking to discover a new favorite read, this is the perfect book to kick off our book club. We can't wait to dive into the story together and discuss all of its action, themes, and standout moments with the BGN community. Tatiana is no stranger to the BGN community! She was a previous guest on our podcast! Feel free to listen to her interview with us before you dive in to her book.

Thanks to all who participated in the nomination and voting process!

We can't wait to geek out with you!
